Right now I taste a drop of the tears that naturally flow
I remember the sound of my mother's lullabies, and that repeats now
Oh my dear, oh mother, with an unchanging love
Why is it that you taught me about love and freedom?

Believing in a person that brightly
Lights up the darkness, a heart that I think of with love
Held by you, I felt your pulse
I can't see it, but it's something important that won't go away
Those days that I was loved and the meaning of love
Remembering them and returning here, I want to feel a sigh
Those wonderful days
Please tell me about them and pass them down to me one more time
Putting yourself aside for my sake
How are you so strong and yet sweet?
I suddenly find myself thinking about what you would do in a time like this?
You'd definitely smile and send out a lullaby
Can I be like that? Like you that is
If I can be like that, like you that is
I'll be like a weed: Pulled at and stepped on
I'll tell that to all of those that I love

For as long as I live I'll want to go and pass this on, knowing the same love as you do
For as long as I live I'll want to live my life loving you

When I hold my own child, my heart is at peace
I feel warmth, and for some reason it's nostalgic
I suddenly hum a lullaby
The song that my mother sang to me
Her loving, devoted, forgiving heart
Love continues on without collateral
That's what I was taught in her soft heart
I was protected in her warm arms
I chose you, and you were born
On that day she greeted me with a smile
That kindness and love overflowed with happiness
I was touched for the first time by the meaning of the encounter
I'll pass it down through grasping a hold of this warm hand
I'll deepen this unwavering bond
Even though it's shapeless, it's unchanging
I'll freely give my love

For as long as I live I'll want to go and pass this on, knowing the same love as you do
For as long as I live I'll want to live my life loving you

Right now I taste a drop of the tears that naturally flow
I remember the sound of my mother's lullabies, and that repeats now
Oh my dear, oh mother, with an unchanging love
Why is it that you taught me about love and freedom?

For all those who you love and hold dear
All that's there is a pure heart
Who could steal away your love?
I'll pass it down with love
How is it that you loved me?
Is it a seed that should be told and passed down?
That lullaby is still left in my ears
For as long as I live, I'll sing right here

For as long as I live I'll want to go and pass this on, knowing the same love as you do
For as long as I live I'll want to live my life loving you
